After starting their friendship sometime in early 2018, Lock and Newman eventually decided to be in a relationship in September 2019.
Three months later, the football quarterback also made his relationship with Newman when he shared a snap of the pair on his girlfriend's birthday. On January 1, 2020, he posted the picture, writing,
Happy New Year but most importantly Happy Birthday to this beautiful woman. I’m so thankful 2019 brought you into my life, you bring so many smiles to my face effortlessly! I can’t wait to see what 2020 brings us.
Later in September that year, Lock was delighted to announce that he had an "eventful 365" days dating his girlfriend. In his anniversary post, he even revealed that he spent the quarantine with her, and during the period, he taught her fishing while she made sure he had a smile on his face every time.
The same day, she also grammed a series of their pictures and stated he was her best friend and soulmate simultaneously. "With a year full of so many things, loving you has been my favorite...Happy anniversary cutie, I love you the most always," she further wrote in her caption.
Interestingly, both of them didn't post anything on their second dating anniversary in September 2021. However, it is understandable as they have a minimum social media presence.
